On Ju(Just wlh, 1959 the entire student body and faculty mere shocked and saddened on hearing of the sudden death of Doctor William Palmer. Js Professor of American Studies. Chairman of the Department of English, and Chairman of the Division of Cjeneral Studies, he built, strengthened, and inspired the student body and provided leadership, love and loyalty which will ever remain in the minds and spirits of those who knew him. ‘We all felt that we were saying farewell, not to a man. but to humanity, not to some pathetic stranger, some chance acquaintance of our voyage, but to mankind, not to some nameless cipher out of life, but to the fading image of a brother's face.''

DR. GLENN A. OLDS President T JlHLRL IS SOMETHING misleading about a college annual. It sounds short-lived, repeatable, and perishing. Some books may be, but never their human side. In this they arc perennial, unique, and lasting. For, what they portray is not a passing moment or memory, full as that might be; but they open a window to an endless drama which is a college. The book is only a prompting cue; the pictures only scene setting. What you will remember, what we all will remember, is the enduring theme: the personal equation in the life we have shared together. It will be touched off by the strain of a song, a patch of maroon and white, a fleeting name, sounds, shapes, and signs at odd moments, in strange places, but always. Who can find words for this sense of the whole tangled meaning of the life spent together here? Who can orchestrate the theme to the special strain of each life passing this way but once, and forever? Who can say what crowds up for expression as you leave in the mixed feeling of longing, hope, and confidence in you? Perhaps the poet, the artist, the seer can say it. As your privileged president for so short a time, I cannot. I can only call you to the deeper human side of your perennial annual. There may you find, written in the mind and heart and whole fabric of related lives, the imperishable theme of the book, the inexhaustible riches and artistry of the making of a life to share. May our joy in pondering the part you played, be yours. For it is not in this book, but in your life that Springfield will be known and judged. Dr. Glenn A. Olds
